How to Install YouTube Vanced in Android | Best Youtube Alternative App For Android
Since we come away far with YouTube which is one of the major and free platforms of entertainment. Previously, we must see the ad from content-creator mostly, but these YouTube is also experimenting with the ads and we see more variety of ads these days. While there is no solution and expect to purchase or opting for YouTube Premium Subscription. But there is some modded version of YouTube that reduces ads. One of such modded app is YouTube Vanced.
YouTube Vanced looks exactly like the official YouTube app, with a Pink, Dark, Blue, Black theme. You can sign in to your YouTube account, upload videos, or even go live and every option that you found in the official YouTube app.
The benefit of YouTube Vanced
Like the official YouTube app, you can do browsing and uploading but there are still some special thing that you might interest in:
1. It can play YouTube videos in the background which work flawlessly. It might be helpful if you are watching something and you must move to the home screen or lock screen. The transition is seamless, and the playback doesn't freeze for a while. Hey but, be aware of what you are watching or playing as it doesn't stop even after locking your device.
This might be helpful for those also who don't want a subscription for YouTube Music. Just creating a playlist of favorite music or video can work flawlessly.
2. There are no ads in the app, no banner ads, or pre-roll video ads but it still has search ads.
3. It has also support for PiP - Picture in Picture mode - unless your smartphone doesn't support this.
4. It has also an auto-repeat which wasn't in the previous versions and it also works in the background. The auto-repeat is currently removed since it's broken while it might come in the future but not soon as the developer mentioned.
5. The YouTube Vanced has also featured swipe controls for brightness and volume and for better usability, it also comes with swipe threshold and swipe padding which you can adjust as per your need.
The Swipe Control for the brightness and volume is currently colliding with the newly introduced swipe up for landscape mode and swipe down to portrait mode. It works well when your video overs but it could get fixed in the future but for now, you can choose between these options based upon your priority.[Updated]
6. The latest update brings Sponsor Block Settings from which the app automatically skips sponsored portion of the youtube video. [Updated]
The disadvantage of YouTube Vanced
1. There is no option to download a video in the YouTube Vanced app which is not even in the official YouTube Vanced and according to the developers, there won't be any, ever. But you can still save the video in offline mode for a few days like the official YouTube. You can now download videos for offline usage.
2. The first boot of the app is slower. But after playing any video, there won't be any buffer or app crashes if your internet and device are in good condition. This issue has been fixed.
